    CT5BW Blown Motor Registry

    Oh, thank you for the correction. After LS7, titanium makes me very nervous. I know LT4s in corvettes have no major issues from what I can tell, so I wonder if it's just a bad batch of something that's causing only handful engines fail.

    CT5BW Blown Motor Registry

    Oh oh oh, you might be up to something. I remember when I bought my C6 Z06, the talk of the town was titanium wearing at a different rate and LS7 dropping valves. I just remembered that manual cars have something titanium in the engine. I wonder if it's causing any issues? My auto BW had over 4k...

    CT5-V 2023 CT5 Blackwing Engine Failure (Shavings)

    Oh and thanks on the comments! I was planning to take my manual BW out to HPR the week she gave up on me. Got brake fluid with Castrol SRF, diff fluid and engine oil changed at the same dealer. Thursday was the open lapping day and car failed a day before on Wednesday. Never got to take the...

    CT5-V 2023 CT5 Blackwing Engine Failure (Shavings)

    Holy Moly! I noticed that their name changed from Ed Bozarth to Bozarth number 1 or something in the last few years. I am sure they were doing some shady stuff and then ended up here? I've never bought anything from them and appreciate your sharing your story. Now I know to not leave anything to...

    CT5-V 2023 CT5 Blackwing Engine Failure (Shavings)

    Elway guys were super nice. They told me that they only have one guy who can even look at it and he is out for a week. I should not wait and take it to the Chevy dealer. I've seen everything from LT4 vette to LT4 ZL1 at Bozarth. What was concerning is that they had only seen 1 other LT4 fail in...

    CT5-V 2023 CT5 Blackwing Engine Failure (Shavings)

    Agree with you on everything you said. I just wish I had the time anymore. With 3 kids in activities that we have to haul around all the time, I just need something that is turn key ready that I can hit track once in a while. I sold all my projects to get the BW for a reason. I'll be back in...

    CT5-V 2023 CT5 Blackwing Engine Failure (Shavings)

    Bought the car from Rickenbaugh Cadillac but I live too far from them so took it to John Elway who told me to take it to Bozarth Chevrolet. I’ve had a great relationship over the years with Bozarth and Autonation GMC by park meadows. Bozarth guys are super helpful and kept me in the loop for...

    2024 CT5-V Blackwing engine failure

    Can you please add me to that list. Just dropped my car off with the sound of main bearings going out that comes over 3k RPMs. 2100 miles on MY2024 here in CO. They cut the filter and it had a bunch of metal shavings. I'll find pictures to attach tomorrow. GM told the dealer to not do anything...

    CT5-V 2023 CT5 Blackwing Engine Failure (Shavings)

    I'm sorry to see what you have to go through but I came across this 5 page thread trying to see how many others lost their engine. My 2024 BW only had 2100 miles when the engine failed. No CEL, no nonsense. It always had a rough idle. I got first oil change done just under 400 miles, second one...

    Who Wants the First Corsa CT5-V Blackwing Exhaust System?

    Same. I’m a little bummed that my M6 that I just picked up is quiet even in race mode lol I have no idea. Coming from A10 that literally screamed in the parking garage, I can be bouncing off the first gear and still not get anywhere close to what I felt in A10. People who sat in both with me...

    Who Wants the First Corsa CT5-V Blackwing Exhaust System?

    Holy moly! That sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing! A10 sounds louder than M6 anyways. I noticed after trading my A10 for a manual that it’s not remotely as loud as A10 so interested to see if this Corsa makes our manual cars louder like auto 😁

    CT5-V Tracking 5BW Advice

    Some excellent info in here. Learning a ton about this platform coming from Corvettes and S2000s before that. Where did you guys get the car aligned for the track? My cadillac dealer told me that they can't do any track alignment. They can just do stock. They were happy to do the oil, brake...

    Removing Headliner

    That is good to hear. Everything else was plug and play? Didn't have to run any wires? Just remove it to get to the fin and behind the shark fin, right? I'm tempted to do this to my CT5 BW but don't want to mess anything up.

    Removing Headliner

    Did you get it done on your car? I am trying to do the same on my 5BW but I'm not brave enough to do it without seeing someone else do it first lol
